94% of CEOs Report Burnout: Briggs Launches 3.3 Rule Recovery Course
Nov 14, 2026
The Real John Briggs launches a recovery course using the 3.3 Rule and practical habits to help small-business CEOs manage burnout, protect decision-making, and sustain performance without stepping away from their companies.
Draper, United States, November 14, 2026 /PressCable/ -- The Real John Briggs is launching a recovery course built for small-business owners who feel stretched thin but cannot afford to step away from their companies. The program centers on the 3.3 Rule along with practical recovery habits, giving CEOs a structured way to manage burnout while protecting their ability to make sound decisions and keep their businesses performing.

The timing responds to a problem that has become difficult to ignore. According to the May 2025 WSJ/Vistage Small Business CEO survey, 94% of leaders had experienced burnout symptoms at least once in the prior year, and nearly a third of small-business leaders report feeling exhausted or burned out on a regular basis.
The same analysis points to recurring pressures behind this exhaustion, including financial strain, an overload of competing responsibilities, staffing shortages, and ongoing uncertainty, all of which surface repeatedly among small-business leaders. Personal and emotional strain compounds the problem, since many owners carry the weight of their decisions home with them, and generic advice rarely holds up against stressors this layered and persistent.
The course responds to that complexity with a defined structure instead of scattered tips. Built around the 3.3 Rule and a set of recovery habits, the program gives CEOs a repeatable method for building rest into their routines without pulling back from running their businesses, aiming for consistency rather than a single effort attempted once and abandoned.
Research points to coping strategies that small-business leaders already rely on. The Vistage analysis found that delegation, structural changes to leadership teams, mindfulness, self-care, and physical activity were among the methods small-business owners used to manage stress. Separate findings suggest that short breaks, scheduled recovery time, and brief pauses before decisions can support sharper focus, and the course's framework draws on habits already associated with those outcomes rather than introducing an untested approach.
The program is designed with a central goal: recovery without a drop in output. Research on brief pauses and intentional recovery periods suggests they are linked to clearer thinking and steadier decision-making, the kind of judgment small-business leaders depend on daily. The course gives CEOs a way to build that recovery into their schedules while continuing to run their companies.
The launch reflects the broader mission behind The Real John Briggs: helping founders build businesses with clarity and sustainability instead of constant hustle. The company designed this course for leaders who want steady energy and sharper focus over the long term rather than a short-term fix.

It is all systems go to the Group Two Jockey Club Sprint (1,200m) on November 22 for Ka Ying Rising after he breezed through a key barrier trial at Sha Tin on Friday, much to the delight of his trainer David Hayes.

Decorated coach who guided China to Olympic hockey silver makes ‘difficult decision’ to quit
Australian hockey great Alyson Annan has made the “very difficult decision” to step down as head coach of the Chinese women’s national team – just weeks after being named the best in the business. Annan said she needed time to recover and rejuvenate after she reached a point of “physical and mental exhaustion”, following 11 years in elite international coaching. The decorated former player started her role in China in May 2022 and previously led the Netherlands women’s team as head coach from...
Showjumping legend Roger-Yves Bost outlines challenges facing Hong Kong’s young riders
French showjumping legend Roger-Yves Bost has acknowledged that current riders must work harder and perform better than past generations just to secure a foothold at the elite level. With more than half a century in the saddle and still competing at the sport’s highest level, Bost knows better than most about the demands of equestrian. The winner of the Longines Grand Prix in Hong Kong earlier this year and a 2016 Rio Olympic gold medallist, Bost visited Beas River Equestrian Centre on Sunday to...

Would relegation fix Manchester United issues, as Pochettino prepares to replace Carrick?
Much like the looming heavyweight clash between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, the mooted coming together of Mauricio Pochettino and Manchester United feels like it is happening a decade too late. Had he taken over at the peak of his powers in 2016 or 2018, following the respective exits of Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho, Pochettino would have inherited malfunctioning teams, but teams flirting with the Premier League’s top end, nonetheless. Should he be confirmed as Old Trafford boss this...
Former Chinese national swimming champion finds happiness in selling street food
A former Chinese national swimming champion who now runs a street food stall has said there is no shame in sportspeople returning to normal life. Yang Fan, who once trained with the national squad, attracted attention on social media for selling traditional snacks on a street in Tianjin alongside her husband, who is also a retired athlete. “Looking at how I appear now, you would never imagine I used to be a national champion,” Yang said in one of her videos. “Right now, I am running a stall in...
Manchester United sack manager Michael Carrick after worst start to Premier League season
Manchester United sacked manager Michael Carrick on Thursday after their worst start to a Premier League campaign, with USA boss Mauricio Pochettino widely expected to replace him. Former United midfielder Carrick led the team to an impressive third-place finish last season but they have taken just eight points from 10 games in the current campaign and are mired in the relegation zone. “Manchester United can confirm that Michael Carrick has departed his role as men’s first-team head coach,” the...
In-form Alexis Badel confident Solid State can capitalise on light weight in Panasonic Cup
Riding on the crest of a wave with six wins so far this month, Alexis Badel is confident Solid State can capitalise on a light weight when he makes his Class Two debut in Saturday’s Panasonic Cup (1,200m) at Sha Tin. Badel’s confidence is sky high after booting home a treble at Happy Valley on Wednesday night and the Frenchman has five rides at the Saturday fixture.

Hong Kong lacrosse chiefs defend inviting Russian teams to international sixes tournament
Local sports chiefs have defended their decision to include two Russian club teams in next month’s Hong Kong International Lacrosse Sixes. Moscow Lacrosse Club and Phoenix Moscow will compete in the men’s and women’s events in the city for the first time, despite the sport’s world governing body suspending Russian teams, athletes and officials in World Lacrosse events and related qualifiers indefinitely in March 2022 after the country invaded Ukraine. Hong Kong has regularly hosted tournaments...
Son Heung-min, key South Korean players resolve internal divisions at heart of national team
Son Heung-min and four other South Korean players said Thursday they had put their differences aside after reports of bitter internal divisions at the heart of the national team. South Korean football has been mired in controversy since their hugely disappointing exit in the group stage of the World Cup, after which unpopular coach Hong Myung-bo quit. In the fallout, reports emerged in local media of a split involving the 34-year-old skipper Son and some of the other players, including Bayern...
Caspar Fownes to consider Hong Kong Sprint supplementary entry for Megastar Heart
Caspar Fownes will consider a supplementary entry for Megastar Heart to take on Ka Ying Rising in the Group One Hong Kong Sprint (1,200m) if the rising sprinter makes another big statement at Sha Tin on Saturday. Plagued by lameness since arriving in Hong Kong last year, the Australian import has delivered on his promise with a pair of outstanding Class Three victories this season, prompting Fownes to label him a 100-rater in waiting. While Fownes isn’t getting too carried away, given Megastar...
